Kiddy Monster Quilt done!
 
5 Attachment(s)
This was such a bright and fun project to do! I needed something fun to help me get back into my quilting after losing my DH to cancer last month and this was just what the Doctor ordered for me.. It took me a bit to get going, but bit by bit over the last couple of weeks I started to enjoy the process again.

This is for my Great Nephew who will be two years old on the 27th February! :) I hope he likes it :) :) :)

Thank you for all the words of support and encouragement everyone! x

Perfect quilt for a little one! Great fabrics and super quilting.

Izy 02-23-2012 06:28 AM

Thanks MaryMo, I bought the monster panel from ebay and all other fabrics were from my stash! I used two layers of Hobbs Premium batting to give a heavier quilt for the cold weather here in the UK :)

So sorry to hear of the loss of your DH. I am glad you found quilting to be a distraction and you found the perfect project as it does make one smile just to look at it. Wonderful job and the little guy is going to love it.

Very cute, for the little one, I like the fabric.

That is a wonderful quilt for a 2 year old--you did an beautiful job. Sorry about the passing of your husband--that would be a hard road to travel. But hopefully you have family and friends close by to help with the healing process--and quilting--that can be an amazing healer too.

perkypenny 02-23-2012 10:27 AM

So sorry to hear about your husband.

Izy 02-23-2012 12:01 PM

Life is very different for me now without John, but I am adjusting and trying to find something positive in each day. It has been like a spring day with much milder temperatures so I got out in our garden and had a good tidy up, it's surprising how the sun can make everything seem better isn't it!

Thanks everyone, your comments are very much appreciated! :)

Grandma Peg 02-23-2012 12:18 PM

Great quilt for a 2 year old.

Bonbonary 02-23-2012 12:28 PM
